The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy

What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.

The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.

The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.

Even more on Kaindy Lake…

Holy crap.

Amber Inclusions by Anders Damgaard

With all this discussion recently surrounding the ethics of manipulating DNA in an effort to resurrect lost species, it seems appropriate that we take a look back in time at the vessels for our future T-Rexes and (fingers crossed~!) Giant Ground Sloths. Until that glorious day when we will ride atop the backs of huge beavers (it was a thing! Science up), admire the beauty of these amber-encased insects, forever looking out at us through a layer of several million years.

This Moment Too Shall Pass

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:24:57 -0600

v1
This moment too shall pass
Time waits for no one
When you look ahead, you will see the end
So pick yourself up, it’s time to move

v2
When everything passes, the day will look new
The rust and decay will all fade away
Scars don’t stay, and neither should you

ch
It’s not over until you say it is
So say it now and you’ll be through
Pass through the gate, and carry on
The moment stays and then its gone
It’s only up to you

br
This moment too shall pass
This moment too shall pass
This moment too shall pass

ch
It’s not over until you say it is
So say it now and you’ll be through
Pass through the gate, and carry on
The moment stays and then its gone
It’s only up to you

Slain Lungs

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 12:24:22 -0600

V1
What are we but blood and thought?
Nothing to seal our time?
To grow, to love, to hurt to die
Is it not just a curse to be alive?

V2
It doesn’t matter what we’re taught
It doesn’t matter what’s yours or mine
It seems the end is ever close
It seems we are alone

C
Now I see that’s not how it should be
When skin comes together and tendons align
When I breathe with these slain lungs

I’ll know it’s You
You bring me back
You bring me back

V3
You say your hope is gone
But your grave’s not meant to be filled
You were not meant to rot
This life is nothing what you thought

C x2
Now I see this is how it should be
When skin comes together and tendons align
When I breathe with slain lungs, I’ll know
You bring me back
You bring me back

B
It’s not over yet
Life is more than this
As eternity takes my hand
I finally understand.
